Former City of Johannesburg Executive Mayor Mpho Phalatse has resigned as a DA councillor in the City of Johannesburg.
Phalatse, a qualified medical doctor who became mayor of the City after 2021 local government elections but lost her position after a motion of no-confidence against her succeeded in January, said in her resignation letter that after introspection, she had decided to return to being a medical profession.
In her letter on Monday Phalatse said: “After months of in-depth reflection and consultation with my family, I have come to the conclusion that as a qualified medical doctor with vast experience in healthcare and beyond, I could make a better, meaningful and invaluable contribution elsewhere.”
